Thank you to everyone who responded to this query and my follow-up clarification. A mixed bag of guidance and interpretation - certainly, but in total the responses focused on and clarified the issues. And that is really useful. This is a valuable and stimulating listserver for what is (for me at least) a complex area of legislation.

Members of Council represent the Faculties of the College. A member of the College/Faculty has requested (more of a demand really) the attendance record of the Council member representing the requesting member's Faculty be disclosed to him. We have declined on the grounds of DP provisions on disclosure - consent etc. Attendance records of Council Members (5 out of 5; 4 out of 5; say) are reported to the Trustees of the College via the Annual Report. We believe this to be the extent of the College requirement to disclose attendance records. I would be grateful for any comments/thoughts on this.
